Some of the more popular ways to clean a heavily tarnished copper saucepan include lemon and salt, ketchup, and salt, vinegar and lemon mixed. You could also use commercial copper cleaning products such as Tarnex.
All things being equal, and the non-stick saucepans being in good condition, the non-stick saucepan should be easier to clean. Anything in it should come off with a nylon scrubber. Once the non-stick surface is damaged, all bets are off and the stainless steel wins. You can use anything up to and including sandpaper on stainless steel to get it clean.
Metal saucepans are popular because they heat up quickly and distribute heat evenly, making them efficient for cooking. They are also durable and can withstand high temperatures, making them versatile for different cooking methods. Additionally, metal saucepans are easy to clean and maintain.
Saucepans do not necessarily have any one specific metal coating their bottom, however, stainless steel works quite well. Aluminum, copper, and cast iron can all be used successfully for saucepans. I prefer stainless steel.
Saucepans with a copper bottom typically will not work on an induction hob unless they have a magnetic base. Induction cooktops require cookware made of ferrous materials that can respond to the magnetic field, such as stainless steel or cast iron. If the copper-bottomed saucepan has a layer of magnetic material, it can be used on induction hobs; otherwise, it won't heat up. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility with induction cooktops.
Saucepans are related to Llanelli because Llanelli was historically known for its tinplate industry, which produced items like saucepans. The town was a hub for metal industry, hence the association with the production of saucepans.

It is not recommended to use muriatic acid to clean copper, as it can cause damage to the copper surface and potentially lead to discoloration. It is safer to use a specific copper cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and salt to clean copper surfaces effectively.
Copper oxides are soluble in acids.
Had tried everything imaginable to clean bottoms of my copper bottom Reverewear pots -- except a blow torch. Someone suggested TWINKLE. Unbelievable! TWINKLE with a bit of elbow grease and my Reverewear pots and pans are sparkling new. Found this item in a local drug store after going to many supermarkets. TWINKLE cleans copper like nothing this senior citizen has ever used. Box says it also cleans brass. I'll try cleaning some copper things next. I'd recommend TWINKLE to everyone!

We often see aluminum used to make saucepans. It is a really good cooking surface, it will accept a Teflon coating, and is also one of the best conductors of heat among all metals. Note that cast iron, stainless steel and copper clad cookware are available. So are some other materials, too. Each of the materials has different properties that make it a good choices for cooking, and debate still continues over which particular metal is better. Many consider that the choice of a given material comes down to trading off characteristicsIt might be noted that there are glass and ceramic saucepans, too, but it was metal that was asked about.
